10 Pesos

About This Movie

10 Pesos is this intriguing little adventure that feels like a modern fable. The way it weaves the journeys of a single ten peso note through different lives captures a kind of existential thread. It’s not just about the cash; it’s more about the stories tied to it. The pacing is reflective, almost meditative at times, which allows for these slices of life to resonate. The performances are grounded, each character feels real, flawed, and relatable in their own way. Matías Risi does a solid job of creating a tone that mixes humor with a touch of melancholy, making it distinctive in its approach to storytelling. Plus, the practical effects used to depict the note’s travels add a nice tactile element to the film.
